Orange Marmalade with...

Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reapers. Another hit from the kitchen.

     I love the color! I've never made marmalade before. Would you consider trading a pint for a pint of homemade black raspberry jam? It's the best I've ever tried if I do say so myself!  :D
 
I followed this recipe:

Except for the part about the peppers...  It calls for three dried habaneros to be boiled with the oranges for a half hour.  I threw in about a dozen dried ghost peppers for the whole time and then removed them when done.  Just to make sure it had a little heat I minced up two Carolina Reapers and tossed them in too.  This has a little kick to it but it's not so hot that you will be planning the rest of your day if you know what I mean. 
 
The recipe calls for removing the dried peppers before bottling.  I took the ghost peppers out and tossed them in the dehydrator.  Now I have dried orange flavored ghost pepper powder too.
